The only way software development can ever be humane is if unions come into being. But developers are by and large against that because each and every one of them believes they’re good enough to get more than all those other people and thus that a union would only hold them back.
Oh. Those poor fools. Those poor, suffering fools.
It’s tragic as hell.
The fun part is that automation is coming for their jobs, too. /fin

Software development is sick at heart. I (as a developer) once lead multiple projects that met their deadlines.
This was not rewarded. It was harshly punished. You see, because we weren’t late, obviously I had overestimated dates and needed to halve my estimates.
The idea of developers not working what would essentially be 40 extra hours of unpaid overtime per week, was seen as wasteful and undesirable. The idea of a hard-working on-time team being rewarded was unthinkable. 1/?
